[02] KKE leader visits KarditsaCommunist Party of Greece (KKE) Secretary General Aleka Papariga addressed a press conference in Karditsa, central Greece, on Sunday and criticised both mainstream parties for their policies, as well as the small Coalition of the Left, Movements and Ecology party.Referring to the ruling New Democracy party, Papariga said "ND is doing what its historic class role is dictating to it. To serve with consistency, regardless of the level of its capability, capital, Greek, European and international." As regards the main opposition PASOK party, the KKE leader said "it is trying to convince that it will safeguard the social economy of the market" and pointed out that "this model has never existed and it never will." Lastly, commenting on the Coalition party, Papariga said that it has a programme that is distinguished for its small differences with socialdemocracy and, referring to two-party rule, stressed that "we are struggling and working for an alliance and cooperation from the point of view of principles."
